Andropogon gayanus (gamba grass, Rhodesian bluegrass, tambuki grass)[1] is a species of grass native to most of the tropical and sub-tropical savannas of Africa.[2]
Description
This tufting perennial bunchgrass can grow 4 metres (13 ft) tall and 70 centimetres (2.3 ft) in diameter.
Invasiveness
Gamba grass has been declared a noxious species in Australia, where it forms dense patches, outcompeting native species and altering ecosystems. Areas of dense infestation have a significantly higher fire risk than native pastures.[3][4]
